Amtrak will cancel the Crescent between Atlanta and New Orleans on Monday through Thursday during January, i.e. January 7-10, 14-17, 21-24, 28-31, and February 5-7. No alternative transportation will be provided by Amtrak. The cancelations are because of Norfolk Southern track work.  Is there not an alternate route between Atlanta and New Orleans? If the long distance trains are an important element in the nation's intercity commercial transport options, as argued by some, how is it that Amtrak can just cancel one of its trains without offering an alternative to its customers?  I have never heard of an airline or bus company doing so, unless they were going out of business.
